Sin,—lt is about twenty-two years since I was afflicted with that mrAt painful disease, Rheumatic Gout, and every succeeding year I have once or oftener been attacked more or less violently. I have been attended by the best medical skill to little or no purpose; for, on one occasion, I was laid up twenty-three weeks ; and when not afflicted I lived in contintril apprehension of a fresh attack, until I tried the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which I purchased of Mr. Hattersley, your agent here, by taking a few doses of which, I found immediate relief, and a short per severance restored me to health and strength, such as I have not had for more than twenty years. You are at liberty to publish this for the benefit of ethers, i H n uin any be i r a , y; e o c u . 29 7 1 m. y think proper. I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, THOS. MARRIS. The great efficacy of this extraordinary medicine has produced a rapidly increasing demand through every rank of society, and the increased num ber et testimonials from all parts of the ernrire, demonstrate that scarcely any discovery in medicine can be placed as its parallel. Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and, by his appointment, by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) HUNGERFORD MARKET. Everything much in price as on Saturday, except Fish, which was rather cheaper. Vegetables look a little better, but are still dear. Turbot, 45. 6d. and ss. to ISs. ; Soles, 6d. to 2. s . 6d. ; Lobsters, 9d. to 2s. 6d.: Cod, 2s. to Bs. and 99.. Meat and Poultry in fair supply. Hay and Clover firm in price, and demand fair. FISH MARKET. There was a very good supply to-day at Billingsgate, and trade was lively; prices generally reasonable. Turbot, ss. to 21s. ; Soles, 6d. to 2s. 6d. and 35.; Cod, 2s. to 155., for good and large; Salmon, 3s. per lb. ; Whiting, 4d. to Sd. each. In St. Peter's Alley, Corn hill, we saw some very fine Gloucester Salmon, which area rarity at this season. HAY MARKET. Supplies of most kinds of dry provender were small today; but the demand was brisk, prices looking up generally, and averaged through out London as follow:—Meadow Hay 838. to 905., 100 s., and 103 s. Clover ditto 103 s. to 1125., 118 s., and I^.3s. Straw 365. to 40s. per load, according to quality. TALLOW MARKET. P.Y.C. continues steady today, at 495. 3d. to 495. 6J. METAL MARKET. The only transaction deserving of natice in this department is the sale of 500 tons of Spanish Lead, at about 191., which is rather higher. Very little business doing in anything else in this market. COLONIAL MARKETS. But little disposition to purchase exists; and as there are symptoms of the return of the frost that little will become less. To-day we have but two public sales, one of 5,200 bags of Mauritius Sugar, and one of 140 hhds. of Barbadoes. There was not much spirit in the sales as they progressed, and pries rated muei as before. Mauritius Brown, 545. to 588. ; low to tine Yellow, 58s. 6d. to 655. ; Barbadoes, 635. 6d. to 675. 6d. according to quality. In fact, there is nothing whatever in the present state of things to move the markets. British Plantation Sugar sold very quietly to-day at much the former rates—Brown, 60s. to 625.; Yellow, low to good, 625. 6d. to 645. ; fine, 635. 6d. to 675. 6d. ; Refined Sugar is still 395. for fine Crushed. Nothing doing to-day in any other kind of Colonial produce, and that advertised for the week is very slender at present. For to-morrow there is scarcely anything ad. vertiscd yet, except a little Bahia Sugar. In Tea, Coffee, Rico, Cocoa, Spices, Rum, Cotton, and Indigo nothing fresh whatever to report. The imports arc rather on the increase; but altogether business is in a very languid condition. roAL MAP Ships arrived sine: , 'Per Ton. s. d.

THE YORKSHIRE METIIOD OF CURING BA CON. —The pigs are (as they call it) hungered twenty-four and sometimes thirty six hours, before they are killed, then hung twenty-four hours in a cool place. They are cut up and conveyed to leaden bowls, and having with the hand wiped salt over the swarth (skin), care is taken to stop the salt and saltpetre into the shank ends, in order that it may effectually reach the bone. The flesh side is then turned uppermost, covered with salt, and sprinkled with saltpetre. For a twenty stone pig the proportions are one stone of the former and one pound of the latter. After lying about a week the bacon is all retuoved_that which has been uppermost is put lowest, and more salt is added to those parts from which it may have disappeared. In three or four weeks it is fit to hang up to dry, and it has never, in a single instance, been known to fail. Mind the following obvious rules :-1. The pig must fast, this relieves the ♦essels that, in a loaded state, are apt to putrify. 2. The killing must be quick and without irritation. 3. Tho roughly cooled before salting. 4. Not rubbed, as this only exci'es the putrefaction process, and you can never rub salt through the skin. 5. Placed in lead or stone, if at hand. 6. Stop the salt well into the shank ends, and move it and add salt as before directed, frequently. TIIE WEATHER AND STATE OF THE RIVER.- Yesterday the wind was from due east, moderate breezes, with cloudy weather. At noon the thermometer in the Lon don Docks stood at 41 degrees, but at six o'clock, p. m., it had fallen to 34, being two degrees above the freezing point. The thaw, therefore, continues, and the snow around the me tropolis is gradually disappearing, although the roads in the country are still nearly impassable from the drifted snow. At high water yesterday morning (eight o'clock) the river above and below bridge was completely covered with floating ice; and navigation on the river was, for several hours, wholly sus pended, a great number of vessels, steam-packets, and smaller craft, being blocked up in the ice. The ice outward-bound sail, however, proceeded down the river with the ebb tide, and at low water the Thames in the centre, above the Pool, was nearly cleared of ice ; but on the return of the flood tide, the river above Blackwall was again covered with drift ice. No vessels went in or out of the St. Katharine's Docks on Sunday or yesterday. Several coasting-vessels, lying at the wharfs, cleared at the CuStom House and ready for sea, are prevented from sailing in consequence of the great quantity of ice close on shore. Several steam-vessels, which arrived last evening from Scotland and Ireland did consideroble da mage to their paddle-floats by ploughing the ice above Black wall. The ice on the river had accumulated in the upper pool to such an extent yesterday morning, at high water, as to block up that part of the stream for some time, and several vessels, on their way to the wharfs, near London-bridge, Bil lingsgate, and other places, were compelled to bring up. h a rows of shipping off the Tower and Custom-house were locked in among the ice nearly all day. The ebbing of the tide, the rapid thaw, and the passage of the steamers up and down, broke up and sunk a good deal of the drifting ice, and the navigatio❑ was not so much impeded as on the preceding day. The steamers which came up yesterday encountered very rough weather during the gale of Friday night and Sa turday, and some of them have met with damage ; and every ship which arrived has sustained injuries more or. less. The accounts of disasters at sea during the late hurricane are nu merous and frightful, and the loss of shipping has been very great. The flood tide in the evening again brought up a large quantity of ice into the pool, but there is every ap pearance of a continuance of the thaw, and with the power ful aid of the sun, of which we have not seen much for the last three days, the Thames, it is hoped, will soon be clear of ice and snow, and n:.vigation and trade again resume their wonted activity. All the docks were open, and many vessels passed in and out. The Star and Diamond, Gravesend steamers, are again voyaging backwards and forwards with passengers ; the Woolwich and Greenwich steam-vessels, with one exception, are still laid up. AMSTERDAM, FEB. 16.—The Journals are al most all filled, from day to day, with long accounts of the state of the rivers, in most of which the ice is still fast. The ac counts from Coblentz, however;say that the ice in the:Moselle, near that city, had broken up. It is considered as a most extraordinary circumstance that there was a constant traffic over the ice below the Continent and the Island of Amelands, which is two miles distant. LIMBERG, JAN. 24.—Yesterday evening, at half past eight, we had two pretty smart shacks of an earthquake, at a shprt interval, in the direction from East to West. We do not hear that any considerable damage has been done. CHRISTIANIA, JAN. 25.—Professor Hansleon announces in one of our journals that on the Bth of this month the mercury in the barometer was higher than we had ever before observed it—viz., 29 inches 0,69 lines at ten o'clock at night, though the sky had been overcast nearly the whole time. In the obscri eery of Stockholm the barometer on the same day was at 26 inches 43 lines. BERLIN, FEB. 12.—The number of deaths in this city last year was 11,045, and the births only 10,260 ; ex cess of deaths 786. The number of illegitimate children was 1,515, or nearly one out of six. The deaths in 1837 were 3,438 more than in 1836, which was chiefly owing to the cholera. CITY INIPROVEMENTS.—The following is the substance of a report made at the last Court of Common , Council on the subject of the projected new street from Far ringdon-street to the Northern-road :—" The Committee directed the Remembrancer to give the necessary notices of an application to Parliament for the formation of the proposed new street northward, as far as West-street. On the 24th day of November last they were attended by a deputation of Ma gistrates of the county of Middlesex, and Commissionfars of Sewers for the Holborn and Finsbury division, who stated their desire that in the application to Parliament, power should be taken to continue the new street to Peter-street, near Cow cross, and that although the Commissioners had no funds ap plicable to the improvement, they were in hopes that if power was given to take the property, funds might be found for that purpose, and the Committee accordingly directed the Remem brancer to give the necessary notices to the owners and occu piers of property as far as Peter-street. Having taken into their consideration the best means of raising a sum of money for the continuation of Farringdon-street to West-street, they were of opinion that a sum of 60,0001. might be raised on the produce of the tolls payable at the several bars of the city, which they considered would be amply sufficient for the pur poses required, and that the application of these tolls to the purposes of public improvement would, in a great degree, ob viate the objections made by some persons to the payment of them ; and they directed a petition to be prepared for an ap plication to Parliament for the purposes aforesaid." AWFUL SHIPWRECK AND Loss OF LIFE.—By the ship Troy, Wood, which arrived at Liverpool on Wednes day, from Charleston, we have the following particulars of the melancholy loss of a vessel, name unknown, which was run foul of by the Troy, on the night of Saturday, the 23d ult. ; they are taken from the log-book of the Troy :—" Strong breezes from south, and rain ; quite dark. Soon after 11 p.m. ran foul of a small brig, not previously seen, although we had two men on the top-gallant fore-castle, placed there keep a 100k -out; the brig swung immediately round upon our starboard or weather bow. Sonic one on board the brig called out to put our helm hard up, which was immediately done, and the brig was clear of us at once ; she sank rapidly, and before we had passed each other her hull had sunk with all on board, and before she was half our length astern her topsails were out of sight, and nothing but some very small articles floating from her, nothing large enough to support a man. Two men were observed struggling in the water, but were lost sight of before we could afford any relief. It was almost instantaneous, and could not have been three minutes from the time we came in contact before she sank entirely out of sight ; put the ship round as soon as possible, but could see nothing. It blew quite fresh at the time, with rain, the ship under all sail, ex cept top-gallant sails; the brig had topsails only. We struck stem on, but it all happened so quickly that we cannot posi tively say which way the brig was standing. We struck her either forward or abaft her masts, for she winded round on our starboard-bow without getting foul of our jib-boom. We judge from circumstances that she was standing the same way with ourselves, and that we struck her stern, or near it, because our rigging to secure the bowsprit and jib-boom down were car ried away without injuring either of them, and the brig swung clear of them. We lost cutwater-head and hand-rails, bob stays, gammoning of bowsprit, &c. Tried the pump, and found the ship did not leak ; had not seen a sail before for six days. Lat. 39. 40. long. 50. 55." Jack Stevens, well known as the whipper-its and huntsman, of the Pytcheley hounds, died last week at the early ago of 42, to the great regret of all sportsmen to whom his valuable qualities were known, The fourth, and we believe the last Concert for the season, of the above laudable institution, was given last night at the Hanover-square Rooms. The selection was, in our opinion, superior to those of the preceding concerts, and generally speaking, the music was executed with that correctness which the result of consentaneous feeling, acquired from the habit of practising together ; a result which we find at the highest point of excellence in the orchestra of the Italian Opera. With the exception of the opening symphony, a composition of that common place character, that wo were not surprised at its failing to call the energies of the musicians into full action; and of Mr. Frazer's scena, an highly ambitious affair, in re gard to the difficulties of the accompaniments, and which from want of t.ufficient care at rehearsals, we apprehend, fell into such confusion, that it was impossible to enter into the views of the composer; with the exception, we say, of these two pieces the concert was most ably performed, and its effect as a whole was such as must have astonished those amongst the auditory (if any such were there) who had been previously unaware of the amount of pure native talent existing in this metropo lis, both in the practical department of music and in that of composition ; for not only were all the pieces performed the efforts of British artists, but we did not observe a single foreigner a member of the band. The opening piece, as has already been remarked, was a symphony, the composition of Mr. T. M. :audio. It was common-place and old-fashioned. If Mr. M. studies the compositions of the masters who have flourished since the time of Abel, Bach, and Stamitz, he will succeed better in his next attempts. A song by Mr. Wilson followed. As a hiatus was left in the programme in this place, we are ignorant who was the composer, and did not think it necessary to inquire, as our curiosity was not excited either by Mr. Wilson or the matter intrusted to him, which in saying it was a " balled" we have said all. A cantata by Huilah, the words by Shelley, was very feelingly sung by Miss Wyndham, but was too long,consisting of five verses. The lower tones of Miss W.'s voice were very effective. A piano-forte concerto by Mr. Holmes, w as played with a great deal of neat ness and brilliancy. He has acquired immense fecility of finger, and his style is remarkably good, but either the instru ment was an indifferent one, or Mr. H. does not succeed in producing that full, rich tone which distinguishes some of our first-rate players—Mrs. Anderson, for instance. The concerto was a beautiful composition, with which much care appeared to have been taken in the instrumentation. The slow movement, a Scotch air, was much admired. The com poser was Mr. W. H. Holmes. A eanzonet by Mrs. Burnett, " Where is he ?" although given with considerable feeling, was more than Mrs. Burnett was quite equal to. An overture by Mr. C. Lucas, concluded the first part of the Concert. It was an excellent composition, in a fine style, and full of beau tiful harmonies, and happy instrumental effects. The over ture which opersed the second part, was, however, the gem of the evening, and left all the other compositions far behind. It was that to the " Naiades," by W. S. Bennett. Had the name of some black-whiskered Italian been appended to it as the composer, we will engage it would be often announced as one of the chefs d'amvre for the " 7lst performers in Europe" at at Pilati's Prominades, or between the acts at the Opera Buffo. It was a most spirited and ingenious, and, above all, to the audience a most effective composition. The audience received it with the utmost enthusiasm, and encored it simul taneously and unanimously. Of Mr. Frazer's scena, " The Spanish Matron ; " by G. A. Macfarren, we have already spoken. A Quartet, by Cipriani Potter, did not excite our interest, although a known air was pressed into the service. Quartets, however, do not tell, when heard after overtures, and other full pieces. A ductt of Atwood, " Dear native regions," a very pleasing composition was prettily sung by Mrs. Burnett and Miss Wyndham, and a very good overture by Macfarren concluded the concert. The room was filled to rerletion by a highly genteel and respectable audience, but it was evidently the friends of the members of the Society who formed the mass of the assembly. The Society is not patronized and supported by the higher orders as it deserves to be. If, however, the higher orders knew what a delightful evening could be passed in the hearing of native performers and native compositions, brought forward is the way they were last night, and if, moreover, they knew their duty to their country and their countrymen, this S,:ciety of Musicians would meet as extensive and as fashionable patronage, as if it were as purely Fore'gn as it is purely British.
